SHOULD I PLAY PLANTS VS. ZOMBIES 3? If you’re a fan of either of the previous mainline Plants vs. Zombies game, it’s worth giving this one a try. Plants vs. Zombies 3 isn’t revolutionary, and it’s certainly not the masterpiece that the original game was, but it provides great, bite-sized doses of strategic undead-slaying fun. Some fans might balk at the ways in which this entry simplifies some elements of the series, but I ended up enjoying it quite a bit more than the more money-hungry

SHOULD I PLAY DEVIL SLAYER RAKSASI? Totally play this. Devil Slayer Raksasi takes the top-down roguelite approach of The Binding of Isaac and layers on a dark fantasy vibe that would be at home in a FromSoft game. This tough but addictive combination left me wanting to keep playing even after I’d wrapped up the demo. Thankfully it has multiple characters to try!

Just spent my first hour with Wall of Insanity 2 and wow... my heart is still racing. 😅 The devs really stepped up the horror elements here. The way the shadows move and the enemy AI keeps you on your toes is brilliant. Has anyone else started playing? Let me know what you think of the new mechanics in the comments! 👇

SHOULD I PLAY SILENT HILL: THE SHORT MESSAGE? Definitely play it if you have a PlayStation 5 and are open to horror games that tackle darker subject matter. Silent Hill: The Short Message is a completely free title with no monetization whatsoever. While it tells a standalone story, there are also hints at what we might see in future Silent Hill games, like Silent Hill f and Townfall. After the disaster

SHOULD I PLAY WYTCHWOOD ON MOBILE? Definitely check it out if you haven’t already played it on other platforms. Wytchwood is a cozy crafting game with some seriously spooky vibes. I tested the game on iPhone and Android, and both versions ran perfectly. Moving around and navigating menus is a breeze, and the colorful, creepy visuals look absolutely stunning. It’s the perfect game to play on a dark, stormy night.

So here we are with a classic most played horror mobile game. If you think this is not scary..... Think again

Perhaps not the most horrific... but the Xenomorph from alien isolation is has the most brilliant monster AI in any survival game. It adapts to your every move. It's so incredible, the IGN reviewer gave it a low score saying "the AI is too smart" indirectly saying the monster AI is smarter than him 🤣

SHOULD I PLAY HELSKATE? Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater fans should definitely give this a look. That said, you might want to wait until it’s had a few updates. Helskate is a hack-and-slash roguelike that also happens to be a skateboarding game, and it just hit early access. It’s a ton of fun to shift between monster slaying and skateboarding tricks, but I ran into several issues during my playtime. If you pick it up now, you’ll probably have a good time, but I suspect it’ll be much better once it’s had more time in the oven.

SHOULD I PLAY VAMPIRE SURVIVORS: EMERGENCY MEETING? If you’ve already sunk dozens or even hundreds of hours into Vampire Survivors, then you’ve probably already bought this add-on. But just in case you were wondering, yes, the new Vampire Survivors: Emergency Meeting DLC is excellent. It doesn’t seem like this game’s intense, mostly single-player action would be a great match with the social deduction stylings of

The Naked twins from outlast and also the ex security guard just look at them! Naked and scary and the other one will just rip you to shreds

Golden Light is my answer which is all about meat. Its pretty small community and it's on multiple platforms (i think lol)but the aesthetic is very good so you dont really need to play multiplayer. The story is about you and you end up in the gut. You go through floors to remember and during that time you learn alot about what's around you but since everything isnt always the same it gets difficult. The monsters themselves range from anything like piles of human body parts to living metallic amalgamations with many different shapes it truly likes this certain idea of horror throughout. I do think there are some visually pleasant places to look at too and overall its a good look at something that isnt just a serial killer type monster but more just a being of its own world. Please check out the game if this sounds slightly interesting at the very least look at a youtube video or two about the game and its made by mr.pink and his team (join the discord) who also have made various other games. I would like to wrap this up by saying some the imagery might be just weird to some people but I think it really adds to the whole vibe of why the game is happening to your character but go find out for yourself. ; )

We're pretty stoked for the upcoming new Hellboy game, Hellboy: Web of Wyrd. I mean, just look at this thing in action in the trailer above. It looks like the pages of Hellboy artist Mike Mignola's artwork come to life. If they can pull it off and make it fun, it's going to be killer. Unfortunately, though, we got news today that we'll have to wait just a little bit longer to find out whether they pulled it off or not. Originally planned to launch on October 4, Hellboy: Web of Wyrd has been pushed back two weeks to an October 18 release.

Horror fans are still eagerly awaiting the upcoming remake of Silent Hill 2, but Konami made a surprise reveal today that makes the wait just a little less painful. During today's State of Play stream, Sony played a trailer for Silent Hill: The Short Message, a new free Silent Hill game that will launch of PlayStation 5 later today. Konami describes The Short Message as a "short-form" Silent Hill title that's meant to be the first of a wave of new Silent Hill games to help revive the franchise. Apparently they're not counting

ULTRA RARE Gale-Begetting Heavenly Four, Tetra Sylphid The esper form of four wind fairy sisters who fly using the large wings sprouting from their heads. It is said that they possess the power to command a flurry of colossal tornadoes, and once they become enraged, there is no one capable of bringing the ensuing chaos under control. Roaring Thunderclap, Ramuh A wizened sage who wields lightning to a frightening degree. Though there are some black mages who can control lightning, Ramuh's breadth of skill and destructive power are far superior. His lightning is believed to be that which judges the corrupt, and those with guilt in their hearts fear him to no end.

CORRUPTOR "A monster born from Mania, with a deformed body and no sanity. Mania is a mutation unique to humans that causes abnormal mental and physical changes in individuals. First discovered in DisCity in N.F. 84, its cause is still unknown. People infected with Mania will become slaves to extreme feelings and emotions, such as hysteria, paranoia, and insatiable appetites for sensual pleasures; at the same time, their physical strength will increase exponentially, and their physical appearance will change beyond recognition. Eventually, they will go deranged and turn into grotesque monsters that have no will of their own."

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Skip it unless you’re a superfan of anything inspired by H.P. Lovecraft or you’re dying for a Metroidvania. The Last Case of Benedict Fox follows a demon-possessed detective who has the ability to jump into the memories of the dead. Using these powers, he’s attempting to find out the dark truth behind what happened to his father, a man heavily involved in occult rituals. It’s a great setup, but the experience is quickly dragged down by clunky controls and frustrating level design.

The best horor character or "monster" is a Alien! What a genius creature with acid instead of blood.

For me I vote for Left 4 Dead. Because with all that hordes and different zombies like the tanker and witch it makes you overwhelmed when they chase you and sometimes can't even shoot because of the amount of Zombies. But still for me its the best

SHOULD I PLAY KINGDOM: THE BLOOD? If you’re a huge fan of Netflix’s Kingdom and are looking for a lightweight, grindy action game, this one might be worth checking out. Kingdom: The Blood adapts the mix of historical thriller and zombie horror from that streaming series into a fairly basic action game where you move through levels slicing up zombies, performing combos, and taking on powerful bosses. What’s here isn’t bad by any means, but it feels very stripped-down and bare-bones at the moment, so if you’re interested in something deeper, it may leave you wanting.
